My '92 starts to squeal when i push the clutch in. when my clutch is pushed to the floor it lets a high pitched noise. once i let my clutch out alittle bit it will stop. i checked my clutch fluid and it was alittle low. i filled the fluid up and the noise did not go away. the noise is intermittened . it does it in 4 high and 2 high, i did not try 4 low. when it is squealing, and i push the gas, the noise gets louder and more high pitched. Thanks for any help...

sounds like throw out bearing

siegelda

how difficult is a throw out bearing to replace?

jpdocdave

might as well do it with the clutch, when you do a clutch you replace this also. remove the trans and do the whole shebang.

roughly how much would a shop charge?

jpdocdave

probably around 600 bux give or take a hundred

i am not really a mechanic. i can do baisic stuff and am pretty good at figuring stuff out. how difficult is it to fix on my own?

if you have the right tools/jacks stands, it's not that difficult, all depends on your mech. knowledge. lots of info on this site to guide you thru it. Have any buds that might help? give them a call, order some pizza and go at it.

also, have a transmission jack, makes it a hole lot easier. maybe you can rent one.

ok, i will get a quote from my local clutch world and probably end up trying to do it with my dad.

is it gunna screw anything else up it i drive on it a little longer. with school and work and stuff if might be a while before i can get around to it...

stumper

call a couple places for quotes, you'd be surprised at the price difference. pilot bearing, release bearing, clutch and pressure plate, do it all, once that trans is out. also, you may have to send the flywheel out for a grind.

not too hard if you are mechanically inlcined. don't skip any steps, like stumper said
